Yep. Come here with an idea, start a company to sell that idea and/or product, then China will steal it right back.

We should create a caste system.

A group of tests makes a bench mark
Each student is then placed into 4 groups: unteachables, slightly teachable, teachable, very teachable.

Based on grades received in classes, you will move up/down in groups. All tests are based on a high difficulty level benchmark that will help everyone and not just allow the highest level of students to relax while the others fret.

The unteachable group will be crowded into small class rooms where, every hour, some object in the room will be extremely electrified. Finally, if someone is in the unteachable group for more than 4 years, he/she is immediately neutered to prevent stupid from spreading.

Note: this system does not apply to people with severe mental disabilities such as Autism or Down Syndrome.

I picked up on the sarcasm 100%, it seems that you have morphed into a super pro-government guy since they are your employer.

Nope. It's funny, though, that anyone who doesn't agree with you 100% must be "a super pro government guy".

I've been a government employee in one way or another for years.

Considering your own sig has your thread where you are an insurance adjuster in the end of 2010, you haven't been a government employee that long. If you don't think your views haven't changed you're blind.

There's nothing wrong with it, but to act like you're the same old dude before you were on the dole is crazy.
